With so many digital production options on the market, it's been tough to get a complete, hands-on perspective ... until now!

SGIA evens out the direct-to-garment digital learning curve with a workshop that addresses your questions and concerns about adding digital capabilities to an apparel production line.

This highly ranked workshop will add value in ways you won't expect.

SGIA's Direct-to-Garment Digital workshop exposes you to today's leading apparel decorating technologies:

• Direct-to-garment platforms
• Digital desktop and large-format sublimation
• Digital print-and-cut vinyl applications
• Digital heat transfer systems
  

The two-day seminar includes the latest digital platforms, one-on-one time with the experts and the chance to review your artwork samples on all the systems being reviewed.  

Also included is a review of "Best Practices — Digital Printing," a wide-ranging review of ways to eliminate costly workflow errors and maximize employee productivity.

Learn from digital garment experts, and experience hands-on training and classroom instruction on crucial issues such as:

• Critical questions to ask equipment suppliers
• Digital workflow and resource management
• Market reviews — short-run cotton, performance apparel, boutique and direct-to-consumer
• Investment levels and cost controls
• Costing, pricing and profit analysis
  

You’ll take away the skills and knowledge to make sound decisions for technology purchases and production issues — plus the confidence to enhance your garment operation's abilities.

Cost: $299 ($349 non-members)

This is the best introduction to direct-to-garment digital technologies, providing attendees with a sales-free learning environment that features experienced garment printing veterans.

Here's what other attendees have to say:
